New research says a Cascadia quake could drop the Pacific Northwest coast by up to 6.5 feet and flood thousands of homes at once
Along a roughly 700-mile stretch of the Pacific Northwest coast, one of the largest fault systems in North America has been quietly storing energy for centuries, and researchers say the ground itself ...
The world’s biggest geohazards, such as earthquakes, tsunamis and volcanic eruptions, all originate in subduction zones — ...
Our planet's lithosphere is broken into several tectonic plates. Their configuration is ever-shifting, as supercontinents are assembled and broken up, and oceans form, grow, and then start to close in ...
The present solid Earth is actually active, with new plates generating in the mid-ocean ridges and some old plates sinking back into the interior through subduction zones. Subduction is thus a key ...
One longstanding enigma in geology is how one tectonic plate can break Earth's rock-hard shell and begin diving under another in the process known as subduction. "We now know how subduction nucleated ...

UC Riverside scientists develop tool to predict future earthquake sites
UC Riverside scientists can’t tell us when a major earthquake will hit. But they’ve developed a new technique to predict where. In a paper published this summer in Geophysical Research Letters, UCR ...
Jessica DePaolis (second from left) and the team of researchers studied and compared sedimentary core samples in Montague Island, Alaska, and found evidence that four of the past eight earthquakes ...
